Video Post! Ode to Summer and Welcome to Fall

Le sigh. Following the brutal winter of 2011 I definitely discovered that I am a girl of summer. It was a good one, with trips to NJ, Cape Cod, and lots and lots of boating on Boston Harbor. I don’t quite get why people are excited for chilly air or to wear sweaters again; we’ll be wearing them for the next eight months. I’m still sick of my winter coat from last year.

But, as life goes, I don’t have control over the change of seasons, so I thought I would bid summer farewell with this very silly video, with yours truly commentating.

And now I can welcome fall. I do love fall, I just loathe what comes after. For now, I look forward to my first pumpkin beer (I held off this long!), all sorts of food and drink made with pumpkin, cinnamon, and maple flavors, apple picking, cool nights after warm days (not cold nights, mind you), the smell of woodburning stoves, long hot bubble baths with a glass of red wine, wearing my new boots,and of course holidays.

I don’t have speakers at work so I’ll have to watch your video at home this weekend. I’m looking forward to a wedding, a trip to Stowe, the Boston Brunchers birthday brunch, apple picking and wine tasting, and hopefully, working less this fall.

loved the water video…completely understand that JOY of being on the water (having grown up here in Boston) i have already had the pleasure of smelling a wood fire on a cool night…somehow this always makes me think of elementary school (??) i’m looking forward to spending a couple of days in wilmington with chef robin white in the begining of october..wish i was going to sonoma too!!

Me! Me! Pick me! I want to go on a boat trip next summer. Cute video! It’s not so much that I want to wear sweaters as get rid of this humidity already! I’m having constant bad hair days… and I hate feeling sticky! So bring on fall.
